as new or as it was?
Dear Airbur,
What would it be worth? A normally worn 1964 Speedy Professional (slightly protected crown and pushers) seems to go on ebay for easily 1500.- or more. If you have it restored you should know, that it might look as new, but having a new dial also lets it loose alot of it's old identity. And it will not be worth 1700.- more.
How about having the cristal (funny word to me) replaced and the mechanical side seen to and otherwise keep it original? A lovely Speedy fully functional and really up to everyday wear and tear, mine is proudly doing it even after twenty years.

hi Airbur and welcome to the forum.
if the model you sent is a 145.012 as the pic of the PC screen suggests then it doesnt have a huge value, probably not much more than the quote for repair, however, it being your fathers watch it is well worth a repair due to its sentimental factor, but n...

Hi...thanks for your comments. I in complete agreeance. I need to find a reputable watch repair shop in the Denver area. In the past, I have taken it to 3 seperate shops to have them fix the part you use to wind it up (it keeps poping out) but each time i...
